President Donald Trump canceled the planned signing of a bipartisan housing bill, saying he would wait until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. The housing measure had passed both chambers and includes provisions intended to increase housing supply and affordability.
Trump announced that the planned signing of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act was canceled until Congress passed the SAVE America Act, which the article describes as tightening voter ID requirements. The housing bill had passed the House and Senate and includes measures to encourage more housing construction, reform zoning and permitting, and restrict large investors from buying single-family homes.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized the cancellation and described the housing bill as an important first step. A housing policy expert said the bill does not address labor shortages or provide funding improvements to encourage lower-cost single-family construction, while noting it could lead to further legislation.
